That's fab to hear! Did you have your mare on regumate beforehand? Also, how long did the swelling last? I'm anticipating that mine will swell as she tends to react to everything injected bless her!

We were wondering if that was the case - her behavior has been compared to the stallion on the yard at times! We did check for a GC tumor and she came back negative, so think she just has way too many hormones and an over-active system. I hope your mares recovery goes well and all improves!

They’re both huge at the moment. Last time we scanned one was bigger than the other and looked cystic, but turns out it was in the process of collapsing in itself. Whereas now both are at the ‘huge’ stage.

Hi all, I'm currently looking at having my mare injected with improvac but looking for experiences and results from others who've tried it please? We've already tried regumate, oestress and some other chaste berry ones I've forgotten the name of, and regumate was the most effective but even...

I’m am on the hunt for a new instructor and it’s proving oddly difficult! We’re located in BA2 and need an event coach to kick us into gear. I’m an average to meh rider who’s competed up to 100 unaff and have a lovely but green 6 year old - we are both very keen to get cracking however...

You’ve hit it on the head there, she was premature then bottle fed. I think it’s a reassurance thing.

I tried this but drew the line at the second emergency vet call out for stitches and x-rays unfortunately! It’d just not worth the risk so she’s got used to individual and is happy grooming her buds over the fence.

I have either been methodical or mad, depends on who you ask I have wondered this, I think the only things left would be scan ovaries or bone scan at this point. She actually loves other mares, unbothered by boys and turns into butter around an alpha mare, totally compliant and happy to follow...

Yep me too, I’ve poured massive of energy into trying to work out what the issue could be with little success. •ulcers scoped for within 6 weeks of having her, found grade 4 put down to being a stressy type. Scoped clear within a month and still clear a month later. Basically re-introduced the...

This is what I’m concerned about, unfortunately one of her quirks is that she needs individual turnout or she gets kicked as didn’t have socialisation as a foal. We’ve tried her with ponies are she doesn’t think of them as company.

That’s the funny thing, mine is like a donkey to hack largely (seriously I hack on the buckle with others) but can get herself in a tiz if she gets worried and then you’re trying to explain to a mare that’s she’s wrong and it’s actually fine ?? We’re in Bristol if you are in the market for...

How funny! It is the only thing that inspires her to ever jog on hacks, other runners. That’s exactly the behaviour we get in the stable. She used to be worse and look like she was threatening to jump out but has improved a bit. It doesn’t make a difference if others are around generally, it’s...

Yours sounds very similar to mine! We’ve tried putting her with the two companion ponies at the yard and it didn’t matter to her unfortunately- any horses leaving her sets her off. Similarly she’s very odd on hacks that the only thing that really makes her loose her brain is seeing a runner pass...

Yes, it’s a good question and the moodiness has been investigated. Ulcers scoped, treated and cleared, a number of work ups with the vet to check no underlying issue (very sound), back x-rayed (clean), extensive physio for possible back soreness (improved and put down to just being reactive...
